This research work presents a nonlinear finite element investigation on the behavior of high strength fiber reinforced concrete beams. This investigation is carried out in order to get a better understanding of their behavior throughout the entire loading history. The three- dimensional 20-node brick elements are used to model the concrete, while the reinforcing bars are modeled as axial members embedded within the concrete brick elements. The compressive behavior of concrete is simulated by an elastic-plastic work-hardening model followed by a perfectly plastic response, which terminate at the onset of crushing. In tension, a fixed smeared crack model has been used.

The paper presents method of calculation of eigenfrequencies of the cracked reinforced concrete beams including discreet model of crack. The described method is based on the stiff finite elements method. It was modified in such a way as to take into account local discontinuities – cracks. In addition, some theoretical studies as well as experimental tests of concrete mechanics based on discrete crack model were taken into consideration. The calculations were performed using the author's own numerical algorithm. Moreover, other calculation methods of dynamic reinforced concrete beams presented in standards and guidelines are discussed. Calculations performed by using different methods are compared with the results obtained in experimental tests. Santrauka Straipsnyje pristatomas įtrūkusių gelžbetonio sijų tikrinių dažnių skaičiavimo metodas, įskaitant diskretinį įtrukio modelį. Metodas pagrįstas standžių baigtinių elementų metodu. Jis buvo patobulintas siekiant įtraukti vietinius nevienalytiškumus – įtrūkius. Taip pat buvo įvertintos kai kurios betono mechanikos teorines studijos ir eksperimentiniai bandymai, pagrįsti diskrečiu įtrūkių modeliu. Skaičiavimai buvo atlikti taikant autorių sukurtą skaitmeninį algoritmą. Be to, pristatomi ir aptariami kiti dinaminiai gelžbetoninių sijų skaičiavimo metodai, pateikti standartuose ir gairėse. Skaičiavimai, atlikti taikant skirtingus metodus, palyginami su rezultatais, gautais eksperimentinių bandymų metu.
